New Delhi, October 11
US Senators Ted Cruz (Republican, Texas) and Maggie Hassan (Democrat, New Hampshire) called on Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi today with the two sides discussing ways to strengthen military ties.
Rajnath had yesterday returned from France after a two-day visit where he received the first Rafale jet and separately conducted talks with engine maker Safran.
At the meeting, Singh expressed satisfaction over the progress made in the partnership between India and US, terming the latter as the world’s oldest democracy and one of New Delhi’s most important and trusted partners.
India and the US had in 2005 signed a strategic partnership deal, following which the US became second largest supplier of weapons and equipment after Russia.
Appreciating the role played by the US in countering terrorism, Rajnath reiterated India’s commitment to work with the international community in combating the menace plaguing the world.
